Administrator becomes 'root' with home directory /home/root re-set in System. Permissions still working. This time, however, I didn't wipe-out the SIDs as suggested in the Cygwin online user guide. Can you point to the place in the user guide that suggests that you should remove the SID from /etc/passwd? FWIW, I would not recommend this course of action for anyone looking for proper permissions handling on NT/W2K/XP with NTFS. If some documentation suggests this, either my recommendation or the documentation needs to adjusted.
